Does this photograph remind you of anything in your home? Me either. But designs like this are really inspiring. The artists who created the cat beds featured here use their talents to pay tribute to the natural elegance and variable nature of the cat. Even if they are out of your price range, they're not too expensive to admire!

World-renowned furniture designer, Elizabeth Paige Smith, takes her cat furniture seriously. The Prrrounge, like her other cat beds, is a sleeper and a scratching surface, made of triple-walled corrugated cardboard. Her designs are right at home in any modern or rustic environment and are all environmentally friendly.

Another seductive sculptured cat bed from Ms. Smith's shop. If I were to purchase one of her works, it would be difficult to decide on which one.

The best-known kitty bed of Elizabeth Paige Smith is the Kittypod, for which her studio is named. The Kittypod incorporates the corrugated cardboard scratching surface and other parts are made mostly of recycled wood materials. The big bowl accommodates all size cats and, of course, provides a scratching surface for them also.

Another very instinctive cat furniture designer, Kattbank, here works with glass to create a purr-fect place for kitty to hide and still be seen. This masterpiece, by J. Parker of esque, complements another glass sculpture rom Kattbank I featured in an earlier column (see Vaso by Kattbank at Where Rich Cats Poop). Because Solo is custom made and hand blown, sizes are approximate: Length: 22-25 inch. Width: 11-16 inch. Height: 9-12 inch

Glass artist A..Kovel of esque designed this rich glass cat bed for Kattbank. The Ciambella bed has a walnut stand and measures approximately 19-22 inch diameter by 6-8 inch height

Another environment saver, corrugated cardboard is the material used to create the Cat Cacoon sculpture by One Form Design. This cat bed is multi-functional, providing a resting place, a scratching surface, a toy and an interesting sculpture (especially if there's fur sticking out of the holes)

Gloria Baumann of Kittie Krafts,makes everything she sells for cats. And the furniture designs are exact replicas of human furniture. She will make her Kliners, Kouches, Loveseats and Klounges for you with your own material, if you wish, so that they match your own furniture. Doesn't the Kliner look just like a human recliner? Purr-fect for your cat to stretch out and watch the Planet's Funniest Animals

The Klounge Kittie Krafts has many couch and chair designs, but do take a look at Ms. Baumann's custom work .

Love That Cat carries neat cat sofas in different styles and fabrics that allow you to match your interior design and your cat's personality. The fancy sofa above comes in four styles and fabrics
